One Pot Wonder...Supper Time!

One Pot Wonder:
You simply throw all of the ingredients into a large stock pot, including the liquid.

Cover it and bring to a boil.  Then, stir and reduce to a simmer.  Cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Cook until most of the liquid is gone and the chicken is cooked through.  This is what it looks like when it is done.

You could change this up by adding just about any vegetables that you like.  Also, this could easily be made into a vegetarian dish by using vegetable broth and leaving out the chicken.
